Chelsea got back to winning ways in comprehenseive fashion as they beat Leeds 3-0.
Mason Mount got the Blues off to the perfect start in the opening minutes, before Dan James was shown a straight red card for a terrible challenge on Mateo Kovacic - Chelsea will hope he recovers ahead of the FA Cup final.
Christian Pulisic and Romelu Lukaku got on target after the break, as Thomas Tuchel’s side eased to a much-needed win.
James Robson was at Elland Road to rate the Chelsea players...
Edouard Mendy 6
Barely troubled all night. Well-shielded by those in front of him.
Trevoh Chalobah 7
Took his opportunities to carry the ball forward when he had chance. Controlled performance.
Andreas Christensen 7
Supported Chalobah well when Raphinha looked threatening. Also kept a close eye on Rodrigo to limit his influence.
Toni Rudiger 7
Never one to shy away from a physical battle, he was happy to get stuck as Leeds upped the aggression.
Reece James 9
A huge threat all night - powering down the wing to open Leeds up. Made Mount’s opener and a host more chances before playing a part in Pulisic’s goal too.
Jorginho 7
Amid the chaos of Leeds’ tackling, he kept his cool to dictate play in the middle of the pitch.
Mateo Kovacic 6
Was dominating midfield, which is probably why Dan James let his frustration get the better of him with a reckless challenge. Chelsea will be desperately hoping he can recover in time for Saturday’s Cup Final.
Marcos Alonso 6
Back in the team after his fall out with Tuchel at the weekend. Worked hard and pushed forward to provide width on the left.
Mason Mount 9
A brilliant performance, with a wonderful goal that put Chelsea on their way to victory and then a clever flick to set up Pulisic. Heavily involved in linking their attacks. A display full of menace.
Christian Pulisic 7
Got plenty on the ball as he drifted inside and dropped deep to pick up possession and link play. Brilliant finish to put Chelsea two up.
Romelu Lukaku 7
Felt like a game where he could really exploit a fragile Leeds rear-guard. Found the back of the net with a sweet finish, but was denied his goal by the offside flag. Eventually got his goal late on.
Subs:
Ruben Loftus-Cheek (Kovacic, 30) 6
Slotted in seamlessly after Kovacic went off to help Chelsea dominate possession.
Hakim Ziyech (Pulisc, 78) 5
Stretched Leeds repeatedly after coming on as a late substitute.
Cesar Azpilicueta (James, 78) 5
Gave James a well-deserved rest.
Unused subs: Arrizabalaga, Thiago Silva, Werner, Barkley, Havertz, Sarr
